Include File For Internal Links
#1
Posted 12 June 2007 - 07:37 PM
I would like to eliminate the links on every page and use an include file for those links to make it easier to add new links and maintain my site.
If I use an include file, will Google see the web pages as physically having the links on them, as they do now? In other words, if each page has 50 links, and I have 50 pages, then they probably count 250 links on my site.
If I use an include file, will they only cont 50 links on my site?

Google sees what every other user sees when they hit your site, it just sees the innards (code). Include files are really about making your code easier to use when programming, the end result will look pretty much the same.
I'm not sure what you're talking about with the link count though. If you've got 50 pages and you link to all of them from all of them, then you get credit for 50 links. Not sure how you'd get 250 links.

In other words, let's say you've got two files: page.htm and stuff.inc. If page.htm's <body> is
<!--#include virtual="/stuff.inc" -->
<p>Blah blah blah</p>
Then any user-agent (browser, spider, whatever) that requests page.htm will get
<p>La di da</p>
<p>Blah blah blah</p>

but no matter how you calculate it you will only have 50 links to 50 different URLs

Since I don't drink (except for skim milk) I guess I was pretty tired when I did that math!!
But I'm still confused. If each page has a link to every other page, how do you get 50 links out of that?
As far as that other matter, sorry to say that I'm using FrontPage. Does that matter?

Considering internal navigation links only;
50 nodes (pages), all link out to 50 nodes. Therefore to any given node there is 50 incoming links.
The 2500 links are circulating the link value (both internal & external).
And they say "reciprocal linking is dead".

Of course, it's early and I haven't had my full dose of caffeine yet, so somebody please correct me if I'm wrong (as if I have to prompt anybody here for that one...
Sorry, degree in accounting. Can't help it...

Using Include fine will be better option. It will make your site more accessible and 50*50= 2500 links and not 250..
well make sure to add a sitemap too if you have not added and link it to every page of your site and then googlebot easily find your all pages ...
